Suggestion Title: Metal detecting
Suggestion Description: Adding handheld metal detectors that can be used to find small items of value, scrap metals such as scrap metal, boxes of springs, and brass bulk, Bobby pins, bullet casings and the occasional gun part.
Ideally metal detectors should be craftable at small but significant expense and a good intelligence skill. These would then be equipped at the left equipment slot and used to scan for items.
The controls should be:
- Left click (hold) scans the ground, forcing your player to move at a slow walking speed.
- Right click: You collect the item you have scanned.
The detector will beep when you are within 5 foot of a buried item, and will make a consistent beep upon finding one.
Also a function to find dropped weapons and equipables could be implemented with the metal detector.
Ideally, the battery on a metal detector should be a thing, making it reloadable or refillable at some sort of NPC such as the technology shop.
Areas where metal detectors would work on buried items should include:
- The whole forest, including Stonehenge.
- Any patch of grass.
- The beach.
- Farm fields.
Areas which are mugging zones could also be rigged so they provide more bountiful loot, albeit most of these will already come with the added benefit of having more space to detect items on anyways.
Why should this be added?:
- Fun server pass time.
- Another passive RP income Option.
- Another feature, players could utilise this and collect metal scraps to sell refined metal at a cheaper price than crafting price, as they got most of the components to do so for free.
What negatives could this have?:
- Modelling and animation work required.
